Besides telecoms not following their own generational requirements that they made up for themselves…
A big issue is that each new one always seem so much better, because no one else is on it.
Once adaption happens and people move to it, it free up the prior one and cuts down on the advantage.
If I said there was two types of fruit, would you there’s more than two species of fruit?
There’s two types of fediverse basically.
Reddit knockoff
Twitter knockoff
Sometimes a #2 can post to a #1, they stand out because they always tag people and us hashtags in comments, when they manage to create a post, they never seem aware and get very very belligerent when people try to explain what they did that created a post.
If you want to engage with them on their level, you need an account on a twitter knockoff.
Yeah…
But you know how people are already comparing vibe coding to 40k where “priests” pray to computers and hope if they do the exact same thing they’ll get the same result they want?
If we start walking down this road of even the chat or not understanding why what it did was better…
Serious unintended consequences are going to be inevitable.
Like, I swear nobody knows the paperclip story anymore.
Instrumental convergence posits that an intelligent agent with seemingly harmless but unbounded goals can act in surprisingly harmful ways. For example, a sufficiently intelligent program with the sole, unconstrained goal of solving a complex mathematics problem like the Riemann hypothesis could attempt to turn the Earth (and in principle other celestial bodies) into additional computing infrastructure to succeed in its calculations.[2]

I mean, we can make a very very solid argument that much of our current problems are caused by high level stock trading being done by algorithms who’s only instruction is “make numbers go up”.
This shit aint even hypothetical anymore, it’s just instead of “make as many paperclips” we told it “make more money than you did yesterday”.
Which is why we’re burning down the planet to make billionaires even more money
Shadowrun Returns
Check out “Cyber Knights: Flashpoint”
Early access and super cheap, gets almost weekly updates that won’t break a save.
Very, very similar. But much deeper and if we’re patient and support it could be bg3 level.
Like, seriously the only other time I’ve enjoyed an early access was bg3. It’s deep enough to run it like a rouge light. Especially since if you go a couple months without touching there’s a bunch of new content when you come back.
I hate all nazis, but I hate Idaho nazis too…
but either way he approves whatever does get posted
The point I’m trying to make is he likely doesn’t…
Neoliberals are empty suits for the most part, they do whatever the money says. That’s why Newsome initially tried to suck up to MAGA before doing a 180 to pretending to be a fighter
It’s wild that people think it’s him actually the posting on social media…
There’s a huge rabbit hole with HDMI certification…
Like, display port is better in everyway, but people make a shit ton of money off putting “HDMI certified” on products, so that’s still the default.
You know the only thing more ridiculous than buying a toilet with a built in camera?
In October Kohler launched Dekota, a $600 (plus monthly subscription) device that attaches to the rim of your toilet and collects images and data from inside
Buying a camera to attach to an existing toilet, that has a monthly device fee that costs more than a fucking toilet does.
You’re acting like that’s a common scenario…
There’s a few small slices of area in a minority of states where you might be legally allowed to pick, but that is not a guarantee there’s more than one option.
To my knowledge most of them are artificial monopolies anyways.
Like, in Perfectville your choice between any available provider is legally protected. However company A and company B made a handshake deal to draw a line down the area and not provide service on one side of the line.

Very few of those green states are for electricity
And if you just meant:
Non profit = good
Then I’m going to have to explain an entirely different thing…
And I’m not optimistic about our chances to be honest
Bullshit.
You really think companies in America with monoplies would lower prices just because their costs went down?
I wish I lived in an America like that…
People thought they’d hang onto CDs and DVDs too…
Good luck…
Even when the bubble bursts, they’re going to have an insane amount of computing power just sitting there, it will get sold off in bankruptcy proceedings, and some company will gobble it up and operate at a loss while continuing to secure future supply contracts.
There’s a very real chance that we’re witnessing the slow death of home computing.
The way things shake out it might end up being prohibitively expensive compared to cloud computing, and once that’s the norm they price gouge like Walmart did to destroy small businesses.
Instead of dropping a couple grand for a PC every couple years, we’ll have steady contracts paying for month at a time indefinitely.
they still have Respawn making Star Wars games.
I mean, that’s an exclusivity thing again…
From 2013 to 2023 only EA could work on Star Wars games. It was supposed to be a bunch of high quality epic games…
We got a couple that were decent because there’s no alternatives. And most of the time was wasted on battlefront and it’s terrible micro transactions.
Like…
"The intent is to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different heroes.
Literally came from the beginning of that exclusivity deal…
EA:
We can go lower
Like, everyone knows that EA is a terrible company, but it’s insane how they continually lower the bar. It’s honestly impressive how EA keeps innovating new ways to piss off consumers.
If they ever lose their sports exclusivity contracts, they’re cooked.
Madden and FIFA is why they’ll never stop being profitable
This is a good thing…
Not for people buying Steam machines, but developers now have an incentive to optimize instead telling people to upgrade their PC. “Steam machine verified” is going to equate to more sales.
Ads can be blocked all at once…
What’s annoying is people who have 20+ accounts on the same service and constantly spam from them. Making everyone else block them over and over and over
“We are birthing superintelligence. We are creating the mind of God, infinite, destined to solve every problem we’ve ever faced and usher in an age without death.”
What brain rotted CEO grifter is that quote even from?
Traffic, not content…
But still, we’re getting there
